Eclair goes to Stella's by Michelle Weidenbenner ~ a fun children's book on Tour & #giveaway


NEW RELEASE........ CHILDREN'S BOOK BY MICHELLE WEIDENBENNER

Hi, I’m Éclair and I’m seven. My sister Meggie is two. When mom got sick we had to go live with Stella, my dad’s mom, the one with maroon colored hair. I begged Dad not to make us stay with her because she beat her horse and was going to eat her rooster, but he didn’t believe me. Even after I pretended I was going to barf, he
left us with Stella.

So there we were, Meggie and me, on a strange pink farm with a skinny horse, a mean rooster, and Stinky Stella who
had a living room filled with dead deer heads.

What would she do to us?

Would we end up on her wall too?

Book Reading Age
First – Third grade GIRLS. 5 – 9 year olds


My Review :
A cute and fun book for younger readers.  Just a little warning for some more sensitive children, the grandma "Stella" has animal head on her wall - she hunts and farms so for those who might be over sensitive about animals I thought I should let you know.

Overall a cute and fun story.  Well written with a few minor flow issues at the beginning but otherwise a fun read for younger readers.  A story that teaches children not to judge based on first impressions and misconceptions but to give others a chance to show who they truly are.

“Do you want to name her?” Stella said. 
I squeezed my eyes to think again. “Star. She looks like a movie star.” 
I love it.”  Stella reached up to give me a high-five. “Star, it is.”

  3. Coming from a long line of families that have "animals hanging on their walls", I never would have thought of a child being fazed by it. Since you mentioned it, I see it in another light.

  4. Yes, Eclair had never seen deer heads on a wall. That was a new experience for her, one that maybe a few city kids would never have experienced either. Lol. Thanks for reading the story and sharing it here! I appreciate what you do for authors.
